Filter by:IVADA (Intracranial vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms）is one of the causes of subarachnoid hemorrhage or posterior circulation ischemia with high mortality and disability. Current endovascular therapies for IVADA mainly include parent artery occlusion and endovascular blood reconstructive techniques. The method of parent artery occlusion requires the sacrifice of one vertebral artery. For the IVADA patients whose dissection involves PICA（posterior inferior cerebellar artery）or anterior spinal artery, severe ischemia even infarction of brain stem or cerebellar may be caused after parent artery occlusion , they are usually irreversible damage, so that method are rarely used now.Endovascular flood reconstructive techniques has become the mainstream, including stent-alone or overlapping stent treatment ,stent-assisted coiling techniques, single flow diverter(FD) stents or flow diverter assisted coil, etc.With the improvements in stents, flow diverter stent is efficient, while they are associated with the risk of ischemia, especially when vital arterial branches are covered. It has been reported that FD techniques have certain advantages over traditional stents in the treatment of anterior circulating intracranial aneurysms. In the treatment of posterior circulating aneurysms, perioperative ischemic complications increase due to their influence on the blood flow of perforator arteries, but there are few long-term observations at present. Currently, studies directly contrasting flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with IVADA are rare. Therefore, we performed the study to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverters and conventional stents in IVADA patients undergoing endovascular therapy. Stent-assisted coiling is the preferred option for most surgeons. In addition,It is believed that dense packing is not necessary as long as the aneurysm neck is covered to isolate the dissection. How ever,whether it is really necessary to adjunct coil,and if it is necessary, what is the ideal packing density of coils, there is no clear conclusion at present.This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy between flow diverter and conventional stents in patients with IVADA, determine the ideal packing density of coils after FD stent placement,and to observe the hemodynamic changes before and after the treatment of FD stent.
The impact of cerebrovascular procedures on patients experiencing anxiety and depression is not well studied despite the high prevalence of these mental health disorders. Unruptured Intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) have a prevalence of approximately 3% and an annual risk of 1-2% in the general population. Despite the high risk of fatality following aneurysm rupture with a rate of 40-50%, the overall aneurysm growth and rupture risks are rare (less than 3% per aneurysm per year) and many patients can be observed with serial follow-up imaging over years. Nevertheless, due to the gravity of the bad consequences of aneurysm rupture, simply informing many patients of UIA diagnosis has been found to result in worse outcomes of health-related quality of life. This study aims to investigate the impact of awareness of untreated UIA on the patients' mental health utilizing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) tool.
Training in microsurgical techniques for the management of intracranial aneurysms is carried out during the practical training of the DES in Neurosurgery and during the continuous training of neurosurgeons according to the indications of the patients of the department. Currently, the recent increase in indications for endovascular treatment compared to surgical indications has led to a decrease in surgical indications and in the experience of neurosurgeons. However, there are still surgical indications that are often complex situations that neurosurgeons must overcome with a specific simulation approach. There are different simulation models for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The small animal (rodent) model has the disadvantage of being poorly suited to the reproduction of intracranial aneurysms (different extracranial vessel walls, too small intracerebral vessel caliber) and of being constraining to the establishment. The computerized stimulator model which has the advantage of being able to reproduce the anatomy of a patient but whose haptic sensitivity performance is difficult to reproduce for very fine movements, it is not very accessible because it is expensive. The placental model uses a fresh human placenta, the appearance of the vessels of which is very similar to those found intracerebrally, and dilations on their walls can be performed with a pediatric urinary catheter.
The goal of this clinical trial is to confirm the feasibility and safety of performing radiosurgery on unruptured, low-risk aneurysms in humans. Participants will choose if they want to undergo radiosurgery or not. Participants who choose not to have radiosurgery will be assigned to the observational group. Participants who choose to have radiosurgery performed will be assigned to the radiosurgery group. Participants in both groups will attend an initial exam session as well as four follow-up sessions: Day 0 - Initial questionnaire - CTA scan - MRI - Radiosurgery performed on patients in the radiosurgery group 6 months - CTA scan - Follow-up questionnaire 12 months - CTA scan - MRI - Follow-up questionnaire 24 months - CTA scan - Follow-up questionnaire 36 months - CTA scan - MRI - Follow-up questionnaire Researchers will compare the observational group and the radiosurgery group to see if there is a difference in the incidence of aneurysm rupture during the study period (3 years). The hypothesis is that radiosurgery should not increase the risk of aneurysm rupture.
The aim of this study was toinvestigate the effect of BPB on outcome of upper extremity arteries in patients undergoing interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms via TRA. A multicenter prospective clinical trial was designed. The study subjects were patients undergoing cerebral aneurysm embolization with TRA. BPB was given in the BPB group patients and no BPB in the control group.The incidence of radial artery spasm (RAS) diagnosed by intraoperative angiography and the occurrence of the unfavorable RA for repeated trans-radial interventions (TRI) diagnosed by vascular ultrasound 1 month after surgery， perioperative changes of blood flow parameters in upper limb vessels,postoperative inflammatory factors and complications were observed in the two groups.
The primary goal of the trial is to investigate whether the experimental arms (receiving the P2Y12 inhibitor Ticagrelor) compared with the control arm (taking dual antiplatelet therapy) could reduce bleeding complications in patients with intracranial aneurysms undergoing Stent-Assisted Coiling.
Plastic particles are a ubiquitous pollutant in the living environment and food chain, so far, plenty of studies have reported the internal exposure of microplastics and nanoplastics in human tissues and enclosed body fluids. Neurosurgery is the only department that can open the skull. In addition to blood and cerebrospinal fluid, there are brain tissue and tumors in the presence of lesions. Whether any of these microplastics and nanoplastics are present remains a mystery. This prospective observational study will harvest biological samples of neurosurgery patients. The objective of this research is to be able to detect microplastics and nanoplastics on blood and operation samples of neurosurgery patients.
This study is a multi-center, prospective, registry study. This research was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program. To establish a domestic multi-center, large-scale "brain-heart comorbidity" dynamic database platform including clinical, sample database, image and other multi-dimensional information requirements, through the construction of a multi-center intelligent scientific research integration platform based on artificial intelligence. Any of newly diagnosed cardiovascular related diseases were identified via ICD-10-CM codes: I21, I22, I24 (Ischaemic heart diseases) [i.e., ACS], I46 (cardiac arrest), I48 (Atrial fibrillation/flutter), I50 (Heart failure), I71 (Aortic disease), I60 (subarachnoid hemorrhage), I61 (intracerebral hemorrhage), I63 (Cerebral infarction), I65 (Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries), I66 (Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries), I67.1 (cerebral aneurysm), I67.5 (moyamoya diseases), Q28.2 (Arteriovenous malformation of cerebral vessels). The data is stored on the brain-heart comorbidity warehouse via a physical server at the institution's data centre or a virtual hosted appliance. The brain-heart comorbidity platform comprises of a series of these appliances connected into a multicenter network. This network can broadcast queries to each appliance. Results are subsequently collected and aggregated. Once the data is sent to the network, it is mapped to a standard and controlled set of clinical terminologies and undergoes a data quality assessment including 'data cleaning' that rejects records which do not meet the brain-heart comorbidity quality standards. The brain-heart comorbidity warehouse performs internal and extensive data quality assessment with every refresh based on conformance, completeness, and plausibility (http://10.100.101.65:30080/login).
This registry study will investigate the incidence of and outcomes associated with clopidogrel hyper-responsive patients treated at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, beginning in January 2018, who suffered cerebral aneurysms.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the benefits and safety of controlled hypotension in Chinese patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms(UIA). The main questions it aims to answer are: - To provide high-level evidence of the benefits and safety of controlled hypotension in patients with UIA. - To provide evidence-based medical evidence for blood pressure control of patients with UIA in neurosurgery, and promote the progress of accurate individual management of patients. In this study, the main intervention is enhanced blood pressure lowering in patients with UIA. All Patients will be randomly assigned to either the standard blood pressure lowering (SBPL) group or the enhanced blood pressure lowering (EBPL) group.
